therefore the butter from the table had
to be used for that purpose until black
| fish was caught, when the butter was
again used for it's proper purpose. When
the ship put in at Rio Janeiro for repairs
the passengers were able to take three
weeks rest, and wealthy Scotch mer-
chant kindly invited Mrs. Armstrong and
another lady to his home during that
time. The beauties of Rio Janeiro were
described, and the sad feelings inspired
by the sight of slaves carrying bags OF
coffee on their backs through the planta-
ton chanting in Spanish, Pm a poor
slave! Pm a poor slave! as they
worked.
"I thank God" said Mrs. Armstrong,
GO that my son, who was born IN pagan
land, is doing missionary work IN Chris
tan land at Hampton" An interesting
account of the gathering of missionaries
on the Hawaiian Islands, the modes of
transportation and of living was then
given, small model of a grass-thatched
hut being used to illustrate description
of the native houses. The curiosities
upon the table were taken up and their
uses explained by the speaker, the next
in order being circlet of yellow " ohoh -
feathers, valued at $500, similar to the
one worn by Queen Kapiolani while she
was in Boston. Then there was a neck
lace made of woven threads of human
hair, clasped by polished human bone,
several beautiful specimens of "kapa,"
a kind of cloth made by beating out the
bark of trees, which was patterned in
rude, yet often harmonious designs, by a
block of wood in which various designs
were cut; pipe smoked by Kameha-
meha l., and some very fine rush mat
ting. Native utensils, polished cocoanut
bowls, rare woods made up into all sorts
of dishes, and calabash bottle covered
with odd carving and inlaying.
Many other interesting articles from
Mr.. Gilman's fine collection were viewed
by the ladies at the close of Mrs. Arm
strong's earnest and charming talk.
Mrs. B. Spaulding, who went out in the
same ship with Mrs. Armstrong, is now
on a visit to friends in Providence, her
home being at Evanston, I'll. These two
ladies, who went out to this field as
brides, and who babe one another fare
well on an island of the Pacific, will meet
again after these many years at Mrs.
Gilman's home, as Mrs. Spaulding is ex
pected to arrive in Newton at any mo-
ment.

GERMANY AND HAWAII.

The "Daily Alta California" of Octo-
Der 9TH, says: The Samoan incident
brings forward again the international
view of our Hawaiian relations SO often
urged by the "Alta" 1t is announced
that Germany is no party to the agree
ment made by the United States, Eng
land and France to protect the indie
pendence and neutrality of that King
dom. Germany not being a party there
to, may attempt in Honolulu the bra
vado which has just been so successful
in Apia. If the stealing of pig and
backing of a Germans eye in Samoa
are adequate grounds for enforcing fine
and dethroning King, the tetchy di-
plomacy which found such easy reasons
for absorbing one island will not stop at
inventing causes for Selling far more
important group.
1t is as we'll now to let it be known
that public sentiment in America will
tolerate no such attempt upon Hawaii.
Germany must keep hands off. She
may as well attempt the same game on
Long Island or project overthrow of
Governor of California. Our people will
have none of it.

to substitute for her present rig the jury
rig under which she came over here.
When that work is done she will start
back. unless in the meantime a pur-
chaser should appear for her, which is
not probable. 1t is believed that she
can be readily sold in England, because
there she is still cock of the walk.

Mr.. Dole then offered the following reso
| luton on the same subject:
| WHEREAS, The licensing of the sale OF
| opium in this Kingdom has resulted in
largely extending it's use, which is not con
| fined only to the Chinese, but is also spread
| ing and increasing among Hawaiians and
J others, and
WHEREAS, The agricultural, laboring
| mechanical and other interests of the coun-
| try are injured and depressed in degree
| corresponding to the spread of said use OF
opium, and
WHEREAS, The injury done to said inter
ests and to individual users of opium Is
not, and never can be, compensated by any
mere revenue to be derived by the Govern
ment from the opium license, therefore
Resolved, That it is the opinion of the
Planters Labor and Supply Company that
the law licensing the sale of opium ought
to be repealed as soon as possible, not to
conflict with rights now outstanding, and
that the Government and the Legislative
Assembly ought to use every effort to con-
troll the use of opium; that It's sale and use
should be made unlawful, and that the
traffic should be stamped out by vigorous
legislation, and for that purpose this asso-
citation favors the re-enactment OF the law
of 1874, or similar legislation.
On motion the resolution of Mr.. Dole
was adopted.
A resolution was then read to the effect
that it is the sense of this company that the
office of Road Supervisor-in-Chiefb be abol
ished, and that Road Commission con-
sisting of three men be appointed for each
of the different islands, to serve without
pay.
After a lengthy discussion on the sub
ject an amendment:was offered to the res
olution that a Road Supervisor-in-Ch Chief
for each island be appointed to act under
the direction of the Road Commission.
This caused considerable debate, and Mr..
Spalding moved an amendment to the
amendment, that the Road Superv1sor-in-
Chief be stricken out, which was carried.
Mr.. Walsh then offered the following
resolution:
That the licensing of liquor saloons in
the country districts has been detrimental
to the planting interests, and it is the
sense of this company that they be abol-
ished which was unanimously carried.
On motion of Mr.. Jones the whole mat
ter of the Planters Monthly was re-
ferred to the Trustees.
Mr.. T. R. Walker then read very inter-
esting report on forestry, in which was en-
bodied some valuable suggestions in regard
to this interesting matter.
A discussion then ensued in regard to
the influence of forest on the rainfall, after

ANNUAL MEETING
Of the Planters Labor and Supply
Company.

The planters met at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. Minutes of previous meeting
read and approved. The Chair then an
nOunced that the Trustees had held meet
ing, when the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: H. P. Baldwin, Pres
ident; H. F. Glade, Vice President; P. c..
Jones, Treasurer; w. 0. Smith, Secretary.
A report on fertilizers from Mr.. Macfie
was, On motion, ordered to be printed in
the Planters Monthly" as it was re-
ceived too late in the session to be read be-
fore the meeting.
A discussion on the report of the Com
mittee on Legislation then ensued Mr.
4. M. Walsh stated that he did not think
that it was within the province of this COM
pany to make any suggestions about the
change in the time for holding the sessions
of the Supreme Court. He thought rather
that if any change was required the Board
OF Trade should make the suggestion, as
they would be the most benefited by it.
Mr.. Walsh then moved that the report be
adopted with the exception of the clauses
referring to the Supreme Court.
After an explanation from Mr.. Dole of
the nature of this report Mr. Walsh with
drew his motion.
Mr.. Castle said that the road tax here
after would be expended in the districts
where collected, and the planters would be
thus benefited. He would like the com
pany to draft bill to be presented to the
next Legislature in regard to road taxes,
and he assured them that the Legislature
would take notice of it.
Colonel SpaIding said that twenty years
ago he never paid any road tax, he took
his men plantation labor and kept the
roads in repair in and around the planta-
ton at no expense to the Government for
costly Road Supervisor-in- Chief, and the
roads were in better condition and kept so
than they have been since the Office OF Road
Supervisor-in-Chief has been inaugurared
Mr.. Spalding then offered resolution to
the effect that the report of the committee
be adopted without any alterations or
amendments. which was carried
Mr.. j. NJ. Horner then read the follow
ing resolution:
WHEREAS, at the last annual meeting of
the Planters Labor and Supply Company
the following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the Planters Labor and
Supply Company hereby place themselves
on record as being opposed to an opium
license, which they consider injurious to
the planting interest of the company, and
regret that law permitting 1t was passed;
that we wish at this meeting to reiterate
and emphasize said resolution. And fur
Their, that We hereby urge and petition the
Legislature at It's next session to repeal
said law.

MRS. RICHARD ARMSTRONG.
A Notable Reception rendered Il
That Lady I'm Boston.

The Boston Herald" of October Att
has the following, which no doubt viii
be of interest to many of our readers:
| Yesterday afternoons weather was
hardly such as would tempt many ladies
from their homes, even in carriages, and
yet large company, consisting of the
Ladies' Foreign Mission Society con-
nected with the Eliot Church at Newton
| gathered in the parlors of Mrs. G. D.
| Gilman to meet one of the noblest and
and one of the earliest workers in the
mission field of the Sandwich Islands,
sent out by the American board, Mrs. G.
G. Armstrong of San Francisco, wife of
DR.. Richard Armstrong and mother of
| General Armstrong.
1t was at this residence that Queen
Kapiolani was rendered her reception as
she came from the morning exercises
given in her honor at Wellesley College,
but perchance even queen might envy
the homage and admiration which the
life-work of this sweet-faced and brave
lady, who has passed beyond the allotted
three score years and ten, must excite in
every Christian heart. A reception was
held in the early afternoon, and among
those who greeted Mrs. Armstrong being
the children of many of her friends and
acquaintance in times gone by, besides
many residents of Newton and vicinity
who were only acquainted with her
through her missionary work.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Charles Billings, President of the
Society, who conducted devotional exer-
cises and then introduced Mrs. Arm
strong, who said in her Introductory re-
marks that what she might say would be
only in the nature of an informal talk
about missionary life in the Sandwich
Islands, but people in the vicinity of
Boston were supposed to know these
Islands as well as herself, especially after
gave brief sketch of her own early life
as a farmers daughter, ' teaching school
sometimes and going to school some
times 1.-THE former something rare in
those days, when women's work in the
various professions was hardly known
until she came to Boston as bride, and
went with her husband to his field in
this heather land. This was in 1881, and
the journey was made from Boston to
New Bedford in an old-fashioned iolting
stage coach, Rev. Daniel Green accom-
panying them and Rev. Samuel Holmes
receiving them at that place. The pas
sage was to be made in whaling vessel, |
and the Christian ladies of that town
brought the departing missionaries all
kinds of furniture, edibles and furnish |
ings to help mitigate the hardships of
the voyage, kindnesses which were re-
membered throughout all these years
with gratitude, although a storm before
their arrival at Rio Janeiro swept almost |
all these gifts from the deck.
There were 10 persons in the company,
and the voyage was of six months dura-
ton. All the passengers suffered greatly
during that time, as the vessel was not
in the least adapted to passenger carry
ing. In this storm the oil for the binna-
Gle had been washed overheard, and

LATE NEWS.

BERLIN, October 10.-The latest re
ports from Tabalach regarding the Prince
Imperial are very disquieting. There il
no doubt but what the cancerous growth
destroyed temporarily by the severe eau
! terization to which DR.. Mackenzie sub
| jected his imperial patient, has reap
| peared with greater violence. To-day
even the Court papers speak of his con
dition as being very grave, and much re-
| greet is expressed on all sides that the
imperial patient did not continue his
journey further south than Tabalach,
where for the past few days the therm-
ometer has been between Z and de-
gTees above zero. The Prince Imperial
is physically incapable of standing the
caustic treatment again, and the present
treatment consists merely in the inhala-
ton of bismuth for the purpose of al
leviatlng the pain. The receipt of this
news has created quite sensation here
On every side are heard expressions of
sympathy for Unser Fritz and for the
popular Princess Imperial, so soon,
many fear, to become widow.
WASHINGTON, October 9th.-Messrs.
Putnam and Angel, who, with Secretary
Bayard, will represent this country in
the negotiations between Great Britain
and the United States, for the settle
ment of the Nova Scotia fishery treaties,
arrived here yesterday and held pre-
iminary conference with Secretary
Bayard, at which a mutual interchange
of views took3 place. The discussion
touched generally upon all points of dis
dispute, and suggestions were made as
to matters which it would do well to
look up closely in order that this Gov
eminent might be prepared to meet any
arguments raised by the negotiators on
the part of Great Britain. Messrs. Put
nam and Angel will remain here for a
day or SO in conference with the Secre-
tary, and in examination of the volum-
nous official literature relating to the
treaty, which it is necessary to study.
CALCUTTA, October 10th. = Dhuloop
Singh has written letter to the native
papers of India, in which he says Eng
land has offered him $3.50 900 in settle
ment of his late claim against the Gov
eminent on condition that he would not
go to India. He rejected the offer. His
arrest at Alden, he says, converted his
loyalty to bitter hatred of England, and
he has solemnly resolved to devote his
life to freeing his country from the Brit
ish yoke. He declares that he will
serve his new Sovereign, the Gear, with
his LIES blood. 1t is expected that the
letter will induce the journals published
in the Indian vernacular to make COM
bined attack on British rule.
PARIS, October 6th.-James G. Blame
is taking Paris quietly. He has become |

has left the Hotel Vendome and taken a

A. the last session of the Board of
County Commissioners, certain parties in

of alleged suspension Of entries. Now We
learn that the board ut its coming July
session will be besieged by the many
persons in the country who have
had their claims suspended. asking tha'
their taxes be rebated. This pr, sages a
vast amount Of work on the part of the
board and a serious depletion of county
funds. The beard, We predict, will not
act hurredly in these cases, as a vast ma
jority will again prove up, having satisfied
the Great Opressor, Sparks, that they are
entitled to title. Thus we see another
way in which the immaculate land CON-
missioner is working out reform IN the
